Chapter 522 [Looking uncomfortable, league ball fever]

On November 5, the Suns played away against the 76ers, which was another national live broadcast, full of gimmicks.

Iverson and Guo Xu's matchup always attract a large number of fans. Both of them are famous balloon stars and are both short point guards.

Although Summer created a series of shameful records with "Dream Six" together, Iverson's popularity did not decline. Some fans turned his wonderful performance into a highlight. It was really exciting to watch the highlights. It was too strong. Team USA performed better.

The 76ers lost 18 points away from the Celtics in the first away game.

Celtics Pierce and Jamal Crawford jointly contributed 61 points, and substitute Ricky Davis also scored 14 points, Wang Zhizhi and Mim scored 10 points and 12 points respectively.

The Celtics have problems with their defense. After Mim joined in the second half of last season, she has become stronger inside, but she is not good at defending pick-and-roll. After high school player Al Jefferson joined, there is also a strong man who is very capable of resisting inside.

The Celtics' advantage is that the three insides have range on the offensive end and can open up space to help their outside teammates create opportunities. They win by breaking through and shooting three-pointers.

The 76ers coach was replaced by Jim O'Brien, ready to learn from the Suns to speed up the offense and defense conversion speed and win the offense.

As a result, after the first game, I found out that the team's tactics were still the same as before. Iverson played, Iverson played, Iverson played, Iverson played after Iverson... Even the Radish Squat game changed more than the 76ers' tactics.

There is no way, the other players of the 76ers are used to playing like this, and it will be difficult to reverse their minds for a while, although the 76ers joined Iguodala and Collis Williams this year, and they are very capable of running.

The Suns' tactics against the 76ers are very simple, just to hit Iverson after pick-and-roll. Guo Xu attracted the inside to switch defense and pass the ball to Xiao Si on the weak side. If Iverson catches up, he will play singles.

If the 76ers don't double-team Guo Xu, he will be free. In the team, he has been fighting with Bale, Howard and others in one long time, and there is no sense of oppression in singles. When the two face each other, Guo Xu has the upper hand and his strength and height are the two weakest events as a small guard.

The 76ers' inside defense is also problematic. Kenny Thomas is a 201cm tall power forward. He has enough strength to resist people, but has poor shooting ability. Mark Jackson's "Black Tornado" has been injured continuously, and his speed is gone, and only the mid-range shooting attributes are not bad.

Dalem Porter, who has outstanding physical fitness and is good at defending the restricted area, appears, and the Suns will send a small lineup to fight back firmly, so there is no need to worry about problems in the inside. Haiti center's offense is very poor, has no range, and the scoring is mainly based on pick-and-roll and empty cuts, and joint defense can limit him.

During the counterattack, Guo Xu beat Iverson several times and forced a layup, and he scored three points when the opponent was far away.

The Suns won two straight wins in the final game at 117 to 101.

Guo Xu made 13 of 20 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, scored 39 points, 9 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers. Iverson made 6 of 20 shots, 1 of 6 of 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scored 20 points, 9 assists, and 2 steals, and there were 7 turnovers.

The 76ers can survive until the final quarter, because the six players scored in double digits, and the core was completely beaten.

Guo Xu was so excited that he could keep up with Iverson's speed and even a little better. He had the advantage in other aspects. Iverson could not get rid of his entanglement, and his forced shooting rate was not high and he was blocked by two.

At the press conference, Iverson depressedly admitted that Guo Xu ran faster than himself. Whoever said that Guo Xu was not good at qualities was sick.

On the same day, the Lakers opened their home game and lost to the Spurs 86-110. If they didn't lose more than 20 points in this game, it would be a small difference.

Duncan scored 28 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists, Nestrovic scored 16 points and 5 rebounds, and both of them shot close to 60%.

Each team plays the Lakers in the same way and attacks the penalty area. Odom himself can't defend himself at all. He plays as a forward, and the frame protection is not a strong point, and his size and strength are not enough. Moreover, Odom also has to be responsible for preventing pick-and-rolls, so that Grant, Hesheng Town, and Medvedek can easily be passed by the defender when defending pick-and-rolls.

Teammates can't pull it away, and it's difficult for Kobe to break through. He will be double-teamed near the penalty area. He made 8 of 22 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 11 of 13 free throws, and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Kobe is already passing the ball selflessly, but his shooting percentage is not guaranteed when he attracts double-team teammates.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Lakers were still able to play this season. Even though Kobe only played 66 games due to injury, the Lakers also achieved a record of 34 wins in the regular season. Now, without Atkins and Mim, it is completely impossible to play.

Esley was exchanged for Rick Fox, who couldn't play the ball. You can imagine the strength. Fox has retired now. Smarsh Parker's data has improved a lot, and he averaged 9 points per game in three games. Shuai Tang began to consider letting him.

As long as Parker has the right to play, he can break through, start quickly, change direction or change speed. After breaking through, he is the first choice to make a layup. His ability to break through is poor, and he basically has no organization.

Parker averaged 33.8 minutes per game in his peak season in the Lakers, scoring 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals, shooting percentage of 44.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 36.6%.

However, Kobe felt uncomfortable in this inefficient and chaotic attack, and now he is a little annoyed with Parker. After Parker left the Lakers in his previous life, Kobe publicly criticized him and shouldn't have played against the NBA. It's too bad.

This shit-like thing has a shooting percentage of only 45%. He dares to take the ball and shoot so many shots in one go? At the peak, he shot 9 times in 34 minutes. I'm the core, and he only made 27.2 times in 41 minutes...

On November 6, the Suns beat the Nets 119-80 away.

Guo Xu got off work after three quarters. If he continued to play like this, his data would definitely drop a lot compared to last season. It would be impossible to get 30+10.

But his assists were longer, and he easily won 16 in this game, and it was an assist when he passed the counterattack.

Sir Joe Johnson is in good condition like a cheat.

Sir Xiao's mid-range shots were hit by the ball, and his mid-range shots were extremely high; Joe Johnson took the ball from outside the three-point line and made a good move. He was able to hold the ball and fight one-on-one in the counterattack.

Marion has always used his expertise in empty cuts. Nene, Haslem, Howard, Bell and others scored any points. It seems that anyone who fights the Suns can end the battle in three quarters.

Now the Nets have lost their backbone and become a weak team. Kidd has not made a comeback after surgery, and Kenyon and Martin have been traded to the Nuggets.

The next day, the Lakers were 90-117 at home and were raided by the rebuilt Hawks, creating new tragedies in each game.

This is not an unpopular one. The Hawks started with three consecutive victories and became the largest dark horse in the East.

Many teams are learning how the Suns build their team. The Hawks also want to rely on increasing their speed to counterattack to attract fans. As a result, this counterattack was amazing. They killed the Spurs in the second game and beat the Lakers again.

The Hawks are pure small ball tactics, Harrington, Walker, Dior, Jim Jackson and Nash, playing well.

Jackson signed with the Suns in the preseason. He has a very unique personality. After being traded by the Rockets, he said he looked down on the Hornets and refused to report to the team. He was fined by the league but was free, which was learned from Frances.

The Hawks are now taking off, four can shoot three points, and three are good at organizing passes.

Their substitutes are not bad either, Kenny Anderson, Joan Barry, Tony Delk, Pedrag Rodbiak, Josh Smith, Childries, Jason Coral, both inside and outside.

People began to believe that the running and bombing tactics were not accidental. The Eagles were so strong when imitating the Suns. All teams that had come up with results were considering speeding up the pace and playing small ball tactics.
